      @bitterman co To be fair, that is in Australia; not a concept that was commonly used in Britain - and still isn't in comparison to standard PB. It's not far-fetched that she'd be disconcerted by the fact that the product - typically known to be a very thick substance in *almost all* other cases of commercial products - is running thinner than honey throughout.
      Putting the fact that it's a natural occurrence aside, as an investor, you have to weigh out how the customer base is going to receive your product, and how much scale it has behind it. By all accounts, runny PB is still much more of a niche market in Britain than the standard thicker type, and most people still consider PB to be thick straight from the jar. She was ignorant, true, but her ignorance wasn't baffling by any degree; it was just standard for someone who hadnt been exposed to a particular product before.

      Don’t buy too much into the “not knowing your numbers” schtick. Dragons Den has a retarded rule where entrepreneurs aren’t allowed to bring a copy of their numbers in so they can have embarrassing moments like this for TV. In a real pitch people would bring in their balance sheets to make sure they are 100% correct in everything they’re saying. This is just TV.
